Thursday afternoon, a federal court ordered the Trump administration to immediately release 100 percent of funding to pay for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for all recipients nationwide by Friday, including more than 750,000 Oregonians.

A release from the Governor’s Office said following Governor Tina Kotek’s directive, the Oregon Department of Human Services worked through the night to issue full November benefits by Friday morning, so families across the state can access the food they need.

As of Friday morning, Oregon families can access their benefits which have been restored on their Oregon Trail Card. This means all Oregonians receiving SNAP have their full monthly benefit now available, regardless of their usual payment schedule.

The release said the Governor is grateful to the Oregon Disaster Funders Network and philanthropic partners who have been working to address hunger in Oregon and have been doing whatever it takes to support Oregon families. She also thanked all the businesses that donated meals, grocery stores that stood up donation programs, and everyday Oregonians who stocked food pantries for their neighbors, and teachers and parents at schools who worked to help fellow students.

Before shopping, people should check their EBT card balance to make sure their benefits have been issued. Those who are expecting a SNAP balance and don’t see one, can call the ONE Customer Service Center at 800-699-9075.
